lots of hatpins and vintage tiles back in stock

I have been busy lately putting these gorgeous embellishments together and love the effect.
With the vintage tiles there is enough to keep everyone happy - birds, movie stars, art nouvea, fairies everything else. So lovely and so very useful.... use them on cards, on layouts or anything else you can think of..... I have more to load too in the week to come.... more William Morris, words, sentiments and flowers.

Using the tiles at the base of a photo (staggered) 

Yep that is me on the left (LOL)

Ode to William Morris Tiles (mini ones)

 This was from a layout I did with the words set of tiles

 It is hard to see but I put them on pop dots to give dimension and they look great on a heritage page

I have also been adding some lovely stamped findings to the packs too - so now many round tiles come with metal frames  so you can choose your favourite and pop that one in the frame - easy as!

Isn't this gorgeous - the stamped finding works really well
Just pop in your favourite tile and secure with a glue dot - easy as!

 

 

Butterflies are back and cute Chemist ephemera (Hair vigor anyone??)

  

 Art Nouveau flowers and gorgeous resin flowers on stamped findings..... so pretty

And hat pins are now back in stock too - As many of you know I went to LSBS Retreat last weekend and made lots of hat pins because it just felt right to do that! I really do love making them - and I only use really good beading and jewelry findings.... most of my pearls and beads are actually glass - they give a great depth of colour and a radiance not found in other suppliers.

 Recently I found some great findings in gold so now we have Midas, Eldorado and Ebony and Ivory added to the mix. These look wonderful on a page and add a touch of elegance.

Tomorrow I will use my darling husbands SLR and photograph 2 more kits - these are great!!!... Deb and Bec did a wonderful job with their layouts in the post below with these kits - so I will load them in the shop tomorrow...... I think you will love them

Lastly I want to say thanks you to Scrapbooking delights for stockign my goodies now for their ladies. I do hope that they will go well for you ..... and will order again.

With lots of love
Carol

SO Much to Share.....

Hi everyone - I apologise in advance about the size of this post - It is large because there is so much to share and I thought (may be unwisely) that I would do it in one post - not the least because I have loaded so much onto facebook today, people will get totally fed up with me if I complete several posts here too as they are linked!

So here we go....

Congratulations are in order.......
The lovely Michelle Lark, who I am delighted to join her, is celebrating as we all are in her fantastic layout being on the over of Scrapbooking Memories this month - it is a beautiful layout by a beautiful lady!!! Congratulations Michelle - so very deserved!!

The Front Cover!!!!



Darling
Layout by Michelle Lark
(daughter by Lisa Hanrahan :)

Here is what Michelle says on her blog:

If you have ever submitted a project to magazine for publication I bet you can share with me the disappointment you feel when they send you a "thanks but no thanks" reply. Well you can you imagine my SURPRISE a couple of months ago when I received a "CONGRATULATIONS" email from the editor Kristy, to say that they loved my LO so much they were going to feature it on the FRONT COVER! Yes that's right - Scrapbooking Memories have published my LO on the April issue with a photo of my darling Goddaughter and I can't thank them enough for picking ME! Thank you to my dearest friend Lisa (aka: Vanilla) for sharing such a beautiful photo of her daughter with me and allowing it to be published for the nation to see!

Michelle has also used 'Washday' and here is her sublime layout - this lady is amazing - 0h it just rocks!

Now for something completely different!

I purchased some vintage seam binding at Berrima on the weekend (wow this stuff is hard to find)

And so last night I dyed 100 yards of it!


What fun I had and how awesome it looks.... variegated scrunched and wrinkly - and it makes awesome bows

I had to share the bow!!

Here is a couple of sneak peeks as it dries on the heater.....


I will package it tomorrow night when I have the girls over to scrap - and I also have something else up my sleeve for today..... you will be very happy I think

Can't wait to use this seam binding though....... Shabby chic girls are also going to love this!

It will be available on my shop by the weekend..... in packs of 5 yards in different colours, with a hat pin for $5.00 a pack ........ or packs of three without the hat pin for $3.00

Sets of 3 Vintage hand dyed Seam Binding (1 yard each)

The photo is a bit shonky - I will take better ones later.......

from left - Spring, Autumn and Winter

Lots of love
